A lot of Lemmy users here are skeptical but I’m cautiously optimistic. I really like the idea of instances not needing to be responsible for their own moderation.
You implicitly said you would still vote for Biden if he “grabbed a gun and started murdering Palestinians in the streets.” I’d consider that to be giving Biden a free pass because although I’ll vote for Biden, I wouldn’t if he started literally murdering people with his own hands, and I don’t think you would either.
Going up to people who are publicly considering withholding their vote over Biden’s handling of the situation in Gaza, calling them irrational, and demanding they do something they believe is against their morals is “asshole behavior.” It’s almost like you’re saying “the issue you care enough about that your willing to risk a second Trump term doesn’t matter to me.” This behavior is often referred to as “vote-scolding.”
I will probably still vote for Biden, but I understand why other won’t, and I don’t think he should be evaluated only in comparison to Trump.
I’ve started when lemmy.ml was the only instance, and stopped when !all was populated mostly by posts from lemmygrad.ml. I rejoined once Reddit cut off their API, and it certainly feels like the usual crowd has joined. So far, it has been a pretty effective Reddit replacement for the largest subreddits that migrated (!piracy, !196), but it’s still missing a lot of active smaller communities.
My main complaint is that the default sort type (Active) needs to be tweaked.
I got an OLED 1 TB for my birthday yesterday and I’m looking for titles I can download to play when I’m off shore on a ship. I like FPS games but am always looking for the next adventure. What do you suggest?...
